Legendary Supply and Demand
It will also make it so people won’t need multiple legendaries of the same kind for different alts so demand will go down because of that. That also means supply will go up for precursors seeing as you only need one to have it on all characters so the price could drop as well.

The population exclusive to only pvp is likely too small to make a dent in the current supply&demand

I think the demand will have a net upward swing. Outside of PvP Legendaries still get extra worth from their ascended level free stat changes.

you will still need the real precursor, like transmuted precursors right now, those wont work for legendary crafting.

Remember though, this new wardrobe change is across all game modes, so we’re talking about the entire population of GW2 not just PvP.

Actually, I made a lot of gold off of Wintersday gifts. They nearly paid for my legendary.

Of course. I’m saying that you will only need one real precursor if you want multiples of the same legendary since you can create duplicates after the wardrobe change. So more people will be selling precursors that they don’t need and less people will be purchasing them because they won’t need them if they have already created that legendary. That is if they don’t care about stats and only about look which is most likely the reason. Thus, supply will go up and demand will go down and so the price will go down.

I think you’re definitely talking about a legitimate effect. Though, I believe the effect of legendary weapons being more desirable due to use across multiple characters and multiple games modes will have a larger impact on demand.
This is all totally speculative at best!

Oh, I definitely agree that will have a big impact as well. BUT it is limited. Once the dust has settled and people have gotten their legendaries and such the price will go down imo regarding what I said. There will be a big “go get your legendary so you can have multiple skin” thing in the beginning, and then after awhile it will settle and the price will probably drop dramatically since there will be very little demand for them. But like you said, it’s all speculation.

Would tend to agree. Essentially, multiple use legendary weapons make the effort more efficient. Therefore, through all aspects of gameplay, expect to see an increase in desire for these weapons.
However, to play devil’s advocate… There is no beneficial need for a legendary weapon (stat boosts, on-the-fly change) over other (better looking in most cases) weapons for strict PvP players, so the grind may not be entirely justified for that player base.
I suppose it’s pertinent to note that DYES will dramatically be affected for pvp players, since there’s no longer a feasible means for a PvP-only player to acquire dyes. So, any new player coming to GW2 for strict pvp gameplay will be at a disadvantage once the patch goes live. Dye prices have skyrocketed since the release of the dye changes to be implemented.
They mentioned that glory will be “replaced” in some manner. I’m really hoping the Wardrobe wasn’t their solution. It’s a nice (and incredibly welcomed) change, but it doesn’t offer the PvP player base a means to be self sufficient as glory did. (PvP materials)

I’m pretty sure Keynes once said that “in the long run, we all need a respawn”.

I made 600g during winterdays just from pvp, wtb that kind of income from tournies again (it was like 1.5g per tourny win)

Yeah, that’s how I bought my unicorn shooter.
Precursor prices are nuts right now (so are legendaries) — I’ve seen them on TP up over 1000g. Nailed it.
Being able to apply a legendary skin infinitely (and use it in more game modes) will definitely increase the demand for legendary weapons. Expect prices of legendary weapons to go up. Might want to consider buying some of the components (like precursor) before patch if you’re in the market.
